[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is this how it’s going to go? Every night we sit on pins and needles to see if there is school the next day? Who thought this would be a good idea? [/quote] Yes. It's a fluid situation. It changes day by day, so they have to adapt. When the surge passes, it will no longer be an issue. What's the problem? [/quote] I want it my way and I want it now! Or something else like that Violet Beauregarde would say.[/quote] The news announced tonight a 10-year-old died of covid and MCPS leadership is playing games with whether or not they'll keep kids in-person. All-or-nothing. In-person-only. Keep making jokes. Feel free to laugh. Those of us who feel differently hope you are never responsible for the safety of our children.[/quote] A child died. Let’s destroy the lives of 160,000 more plus their families plus their mom’s careers, lifetime earning potential, their parents mental and physical health, their marriage, their childhood everything. It’s sad that a child died. Maybe they should have been vaccinated. Or maybe they were a primo candidate for virtual academy. Or maybe they got it over break. Or maybe it was just bad luck. It was bad luck to be a first grader in Newtown years ago. We didn’t cancel first grade. [/quote] Your Newton example is disgusting and you should be banned. How horrible must you be to say such a thing. [/quote] +1. They say the musicians on the Titanic played two hours trying to calm the passengers. There is nothing wrong with calming people down. However, when people deny the reality that they're in a once-in-a-lifetime disaster, yet still strive for normality to rationalize the situation, they deny the very actions that could save lives. I get that people need to work. However, I also get that MCPS did not offer hybrid options and chose a school closure metric that seems ineffective. That is bad decision-making and failed leadership. [/quote] Assuming that keeping my child home for 2 weeks (only 2?!) would save lives and that is a big assumption why is it on kids to save lives? They are children. They aren’t supposed to have that responsibility. They endured virtual school for a year, took two doses of vaccine, wear masks 40 hours a week as god damn six year olds. That is not enough? GTFOH. [/quote]
